Project Runway

Okay, who's watching this year? I'm ALL ABOUT Chris, the big drag queen dude (who I spotted once at Night of 1000 Gowns) -- he was robbed last week, dambit!

The wife and I are pullin' for Kit.

Kit did the sweater/leggings outfit with Chris last night, right? I wasn't so crazy about her bipolar dress last week but I thought that last night's outfit was kinda cute.

I have to admit to having a soft spot for Christian as well. When I saw the previews I thought for sure he would work my last nerve, but so far I've found him quite charming. For instance, I thought the way his bitchiness melted immediately into unabashed excitement at seeing SJP walk in was kind of adorable. When he told his model about the guest judge, it was downright cute. I think he's genuinely in love with fashion, and a lot of his bravado seems rather tongue-in-cheek.

I do a lot of work with LGBT youth who are dealing with harassment and discrimination in their schools, and I've worked with a lot of boys like Christian -- that "I'm so FIERCE!" attitude is almost always a defense mechanism born out of being subjected to tons of bullying, especially with little guys like Christian. Some of the comments I've seen online about him seem pretty homophobic and REALLY do not sit well with me.

He does need to get out of his retro-80's shctick. That jacket with the puffy arms in episode 1 was awful. He's got character, but he is such a Williamsburg type, yeah?

I'm digging the totally fuckin' bizarre chick that sews stuff onto herself.

...and spts? I give her 2 more, if not 1

alafairnadia

oh yeah, she'll get booted soon. then I'll have to pick a new favorite. maybe the really tall black woman? not sure yet. I almost always end up pulling for a woman.

Subject: Project Runway Finale

It's here! I want to watch it at a bar with other fans. Anyone know of a bar that is promoting it?

It was so great watching the Sopranos finale at Black Sheep. The place was packed and you could have heard a pin drop at the end. This would be a little more boisterous, I think.

oh my god! A woman rooting for Jillian!?!? Hell yeah! So far all my female friends are turning into fag-hags and have gotten behind the uber-fake Christian. Dude's talented, but what an annoying little twerp! Plus Jillian is fine.

Go Jillian!

Ooo is that tonight? What time? I might have to venture down to cattyshack

And sorry, I loveeee christians designs. Jillian doesnt do anything for me (although her face is so beautiful that in induces the typical chick jealousy-anger response haha)

Roomie knows who won- he worked on the show- he won't tell me, but did give me a hint. Can't say it here though, cause then he'd have to kill me.

So there it is. I thought Christian and Rami were about even, but I knew they would throw it to Christian because nobody would ever wear his crap - I mean, if they liked the same stuff that the rest of us rubes do then they couldn't pretend that they know something nobody else does. Also, Beckham was even more worthless than I imagined she would be.

alafairnadia

rami's clothes are so much more wearable than xians. so annoying.

izisharp

was it me, or was the entire episode mad boring? It shoulda been a 2-hour finale. No surprise challenge? No drama at the tents? No drama at the hotel!?!?!?

I thought Christian deserved it. But I also thought Jillian's collection was better than Rami's.

I agree that some drama would have been welcome, but to be honest I found last cycle's "Gotcha!" surprise challenge to be unfair and a little tedious. That being said, that fact that that trap had been sprung in the past probably accounted for everybody showing up really prepared - and thus more or less drama free.

So in summary I don't know what I want.

his collection was nice and all, but honestly? I think if the votes were based on wearability rather than 'art' or 'drama', Rami or Jillian would have taken it. shit. I'd rather where Chris' clothes than xians.

I've been loving Christian's shit this whole season (those JEANS!?!?! UN-freakin-believable!)

But I hated, HATED his collection! I was completely shocked by what I saw come down the runway.

Was it just me?
